The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing tale of an unknown actor's rise to iconic movie star status, with his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman setting the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Moving backward and forward in time, filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui expertly weave together a dual narrative, exploring the life-changing impact of two pivotal moments in Reeve's career: being cast in 1978's Superman and becoming paralyzed in 1995.

The filmmakers make great use of intimate home footage and interviews with Reeve's partner, three children, and Hollywood friends, including Susan Sarandon, Glenn Close, and Robin Williams.

Filmography: Rising Phoenix (2020), McQueen (2018).
